gaming console - XBox 360, PS3 or Wii?

My background about games is, I used to play loads of Video games, infact, I was a champ in games like Contra, Mario, Road Fighter & many more, then I couldn't continue my interest on PC games as I didn't like playing games with keyboard (it wasn't comfortable). I never played on XBox or PS or Wii.

I chose the Wii for one reason... I rarely play video games (for a long period of time) anymore. Not that I outgrown it, it's just that life too busy now, and other things have higher priority. The only game series that still seems to hold my attention (for a long period) is "The legend of Zelda", which is only available on Nintendo game systems.

Based on the games you liked to play as a child, it sounds like a Wii is more along your lines.

About time consuming, most XBox360 and PS3 games tend to take a long time to complete. Which makes the games a great value, but sometimes you just want to play for a short period of time and leave, and I think the games on Wii are more towards that type of game.

Very true.
I think Wii is different than XBox 360 & PS3.

As Nikes mentioned, Sony (PS3) has introduced motion sensing games, Are they similar to Wii? Anyone has experience?
